verify-trust 0.1.2

//! Exemption keyring for platform-signed commits.
//!
//! GitHub signs the commits it creates itself — web-UI merge and squash
//! commits, Dependabot commits — with **PGP** (its `web-flow` key), not with
//! a contributor's sshsig. Those commits can never carry a DID signature, so
//! a repository that wants `verify-trust` as a required check needs a policy
//! for them.
//!
//! The policy here is cryptographic, never name-based: the repository commits
//! an armored keyring of explicitly trusted platform keys (e.g. the key from
//! <https://github.com/web-flow.gpg>), and a PGP-signed commit passes only if
//! its signature verifies against one of those keys. Committer names and
//! emails are attacker-chosen strings and play no part. With no keyring
//! configured, every PGP-signed commit fails — absence of configuration is
//! the most restrictive interpretation.
//!
//! Verification is pure Rust (rPGP); no `gpg` binary is involved.
